Universal Notions Of Development And Disability: Towards Whose Imagined Vision?, Shridevi Rao, Maya Kalyanpur Phd
Universal Notions Of Development And Disability: Towards Whose Imagined Vision?, Shridevi Rao, Maya Kalyanpur Phd
School of Leadership and Education Sciences: Faculty Scholarship
This paper addresses the epistemological dissonance created by the growing movement to impose universal templates of disability and disability-related practices to countries in the Global South and the subsequent erasure of indigenous understandings of disability. Underlying this dissonance, we argue, are the deeply problematic beliefs in universal notions of disability and global development that are anchored to colonial frameworks of understanding and approaching human differences. We explore the presence of these colonial frameworks in three specific areas: the language of disability; understandings of personhood; and notions of inclusivity. We propose that bringing about transformation in these areas would mean using …
The Perceptions And Experiences Of School-Based Mental Health Professionals In 9-12 Schools In Arkansas, Teri L. Morris
The Perceptions And Experiences Of School-Based Mental Health Professionals In 9-12 Schools In Arkansas, Teri L. Morris
Theses and Dissertations from 2020
Mental health services for students in secondary schools has been and is continuing to be an issue in public schools today (National Association School Psychologists [NASP], 2019). Over 10 million students between the ages of 13 to 18 have a mental condition they will need a school-based mental health (SBMH) professional to help them deal with while they are in school (Walker, 2019). In schools, the most common disorders being identified with children and adolescents are: (a) attention-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), (b) bipolar disorder, (c) depression, (d) anxiety, and the access to treatment for most of these children is limited (Walker, …
Linguistic Neglect Of Deaf Children In The United States, Mishonne Marks
Linguistic Neglect Of Deaf Children In The United States, Mishonne Marks
Ballard Brief
Most deaf children in the United States are born to hearing parents who are not familiar with Deaf culture or American Sign Language (ASL). As a result. deaf children are in danger of experiencing linguistic neglect. meaning they do not receive sufficient language input. This linguistic neglect is typically unintentional and can be a result of deaf history, institutionalized oppression, current stigmas, and educational inequality. Linguistic neglect can result in deaf children experiencing decreased mental health, stunted cognitive development. poor academic performance. and employment difficulties. Several organizations are currently working to address and prevent linguistic neglect by spreading deaf awareness, …

Loose Coupling In Curriculum Reforms: Rural Teachers´ Perceptions Of Peace Education In Post-Conflict Colombia, Pedro Pineda, Markus D. Meier
Loose Coupling In Curriculum Reforms: Rural Teachers´ Perceptions Of Peace Education In Post-Conflict Colombia, Pedro Pineda, Markus D. Meier
Peace and Conflict Studies
Previous research has shown how peace education (PE) mutates according to socio-political and curricular/didactic traditions, but we still need to know how PE disseminates at the school level. We surveyed teachers from 12 rural schools of the violent Amazon region of Colombia where a national Law made PE mandatory in schools and universities. Teachers working on schools affected by the armed conflict have high expectations about PE. Respondents identified PE with 21 didactic elements: (a) Approaches: values education, citizenship education, critical pedagogy; (b) Pedagogical principles: diversity and pluralism. (c) Learning processes: peaceful conflict resolution, promotion of a “life project”, political …
Bad Puns: It’S How Eye Roll: Humor Writing As A Technique To Engage And Strengthen Writers, Hala Louviere
Bad Puns: It’S How Eye Roll: Humor Writing As A Technique To Engage And Strengthen Writers, Hala Louviere
Tutor's Column
Much research has been done on why to use humor writing, but a lack of research on when to use humor writing exists. The researcher argues that when humor writing is used in scholarly and analytical writing, it can engage uninterested students and improve their writing through authorial voice. Previous studies support the researcher’s thesis; young adults, who frequently consume humor through social media and other modes, can appreciate writing more by combining it with a technique they are familiar with and enjoy. This appreciation also motivates students to insert more of their voice, which then improves their writing.

The Roles Of Educational Leaders And Other Factors That Contribute To Successful Programs For English Learners, Abdulmohsen Ibrahim Alsliman
The Roles Of Educational Leaders And Other Factors That Contribute To Successful Programs For English Learners, Abdulmohsen Ibrahim Alsliman
Dissertations
Public schools in the United States have experienced a rise in the number of English language learners (ELLs). (National Center for Education Statistics [NCES], 2018). The ELLs across different states including Colorado schools underperform academically when compared to their peers (NCES, 2018). To close the achievement gap, it is important to understand how to create and sustain successful ELL programs at the elementary level. Therefore, the purpose of this non-experimental survey research was to identify the possible factors contributing to the success of ELL programs in elementary schools in the same school district and to explore the role administrators and …

The article explore how Brazilian thinker Euclides Da Cunha's 1902 Sertões critically rewrites Argentine writer and statesman Domingo Faustino Sarmiento's 1845 Facundo, o civilización y barbarie. It mentions that in 1889 Brazil had overthrown the Hemisphere's last monarchy and embraced republican government under a president, and reports the region's uneven process of political, social, and economic modernization during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Technical Standards And A Theory Of Writing As Infrastructure, Jordan Frith
Technical Standards And A Theory Of Writing As Infrastructure, Jordan Frith
Publications
Infrastructures support and shape our social world, but they do so in often invisible ways. In few cases is that truer than with various documents that serve infrastructural functions. This article takes one type of those documents—technical standards—and uses analysis of one specific standard to develop theory related to the infrastructural function of writing. The author specifically analyzes one of the major infrastructures of the Internet of Things—the 126-page Tag Data Standard (TDS)—to show how rethinking writing as infrastructure can be valuable for multiple conversations occurring with writing studies, including research on material rhetoric, research that expands the scope of …

Brothers As Men: Masculinity, Homosociality, And Violence Among Fraternity Men, Daniel Mccloskey
University Scholar Projects
A significant aspect of gender study, specifically when dealing with men, is the idea that there is no single masculinity and that there are many different constructions of masculinity. This project engages fraternity men about their constructions of masculinity and how these constructions affect behavior. In addition to these constructions of masculinity, this study is concerned with issues of homosociality and views of sexual violence. This project utilizes research techniques including semi-structured and structured interviews as well as free listing and pile sorting.

Extractive Summarization And Simplification Of Scholarly Literature, Nilav Bharatkumar Vaghasiya
Computer Science and Engineering Theses - Archive
Research papers and journals have always played a crucial role in the field of research and development. However, these research papers usually have a complex usage of language which limits the range of target readers. The language and the terms used in these literary works can make the concept or the topic tough to understand for a naive reader. The goal of this project is to simplify a complex piece of literature into something meaningful without sounding verbose. The idea is based upon Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman’s learning technique known as the Feynman Technique that emphasizes the usage of …

Creativity and Change Leadership Graduate Student Master's Projects
2019 has been the year in which climate change and climate conscience have been key concepts, the first trimester of 2020 has been determined by the coronavirus pandemic. Exactly in the same way changing external conditions make any project in need of pivoting, Higher Education has to adapt and change as well. A first identified step is the development of e-learning, but then the shorter attention span and other external reasons for the new profile of students make it difficult. Gamification was therefore identified as a possible solution. The current project describes the process of submitting a proposal of ERASMUS …

The Impact Of Extreme Heat On Environmental Justice Communities In California: Assessing Equity In Climate Action Plans, Karishma S. Becha
Master's Projects and Capstones
Climate change projections suggest extreme heat events will be more frequent over the next few decades. Extreme heat has both negative environmental and social impacts as it affects energy security, public health by increasing the risk of heat-related illnesses and stresses food and crop supply through prolonged droughts. The impacts of extreme heat will also disproportionately affect communities of low economic status. Because of this, there is a need for better climate action plans that can adapt to and mitigate the impacts brought upon by extreme heat that does not disproportionately impact vulnerable communities. This research analyzed local government Climate …

Placing Notes In The Virtual “Western Wall”: Online Memorial Culture In Chinese Social Media, Xiaoyu Zhang
Master's Projects and Capstones
Each society has a unique way of understanding death and coping with mourning. The increasing online mourners in China gradually generated a collective reference to the Weibo account that belongs to the dead, the “Western Wall.” This project searches for answers to two questions: 1) What characterizes Chinese online memorial practice? And how do these practices compare with those in the Western countries? 2) What aspects of Chinese culture and social conditions can explain Chinese online memorial practices? By combining corpus analysis with thematic analysis on 1,606 comments left on the last tweet of two accounts of deceased Weibo users, …

Bilingual Practices In Speech-Language Pathology In Nebraska Schools, Kylee Beyea
Bilingual Practices In Speech-Language Pathology In Nebraska Schools, Kylee Beyea
Theses/Capstones/Creative Projects
The United States is home to a population that is nearly 20% bilingual. A statistic such as this almost guarantees that speech-language pathologists (SLPs) will work with someone from this bilingual population at some point during their career. Many factors contribute to how children learn language, and there are added complexities in the acquisition of multiple languages which can complicate the job of a clinician. Silent periods, codeswitching, transfer, and other bilingual language phenomena make diagnosing speech and language disorders difficult. The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) provides guidelines and a code of ethics to be followed to ensure best practice. …

Intervention Techniques Targeting Echolalia: A Systematic Review, Shannon M. Koegel
Honors Capstones
Purpose: Echolalic speech impacts individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)’s social acceptance, vocational opportunities, and independent living opportunities. However, speech-language pathologists (SLPs) face multiple challenges when consulting the empirical literature on how to effectively target echolalia, such as inconsistent definitions and philosophically different approaches across disciplines. The purpose of this systematic review was to explore the current evidence for interventions targeting echolalia to help guide clinicians using evidence-based practice. Method: Search terms were entered into five databases. After eliminating irrelevant and duplicate articles, 81 articles underwent full text review to determine whether they met the inclusionary/exclusionary criteria. The five included …

How Social Service Organizations Respond To Barriers To Latino Immigrant Employment, Abigayle Brooks
2020 Spring Honors Capstone Projects - Archive
Hispanics and Latinos form the largest group of immigrants but compared to other immigrant groups, they have some of the highest poverty rates. Despite these obstacles, full-time employment has been shown to be one of the greatest factors associated with lowering poverty. This study carried out a cross-sectional survey of representatives from social service organizations in the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) area to examine the prevalence of services that promote greater full-time employment among Latino immigrants. Most participants reported the provision of employment services at their organization, followed by welfare- and family-related services. Educational services were the least prevalent category of …

Service Work In Youth Development: The Power Behind Extracurriculars, Lyndsy Cadet
Public & Community Service Studies Student Scholarship
At the heart of all underprivileged areas are underfunded public and charter schools that are not given a chance to properly educate the leaders of the future. The wealth disparities across school districts penalized students who live in low socioeconomic and non-dominant demographic neighborhoods. The biggest attack on educational rights is showcased through the achievement and opportunity gap in which the lack of funding and quality educational experience is limiting the quantity of knowledge students are obtaining in inner city, underfunded school districts. Students, regardless of socioeconomic or ethnic background deserve a chance at quality funded public schools in order …

Exploring The Lived Experiences Of Rwandan Refugees Resettled In The Usa: A Descriptive Phenomenology Study, Betty Chelangat Tonui
Social Work Dissertations - Archive
The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to explore the lived experiences associated with (genocide, migration, resettlement) and socio/cultural factors that influenced Rwandan refugees’ mental health in the United States (U.S.). In 2018, there were more than 25 million refugees displaced around the world, and more than 50,000 refugees were admitted to the United States in 2017 (UNHCR, 2019). Studies have shown that refugees are more likely to develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety than the general population (Bogic et al., 2015; Goodkind et al., 2017). Despite the prevalence of mental health concerns amongst refugees, minimal information …
Debatable Data: Utilizing French Canadian Parliamentary Records To Build A Machine Translation Engine For A Low-Resource French Variant (Québécois), Sophie Soueid
2020 Spring Honors Capstone Projects - Archive
This study explored the importance of, and challenges facing, the application of machine translation (MT) to Québécois, a low-resource variety of French native to the Canadian province of Québec. The history of MT in Canada is discussed, and a QuébécoisEnglish MT engine was trained to investigate practical questions around applying automated translation to this low-resource French variant. Québécois has only rarely been the focus of published MT research work, even within the Canadian governmental setting, which relies primarily on human translation. Marian, an open-source neural machine translation (NMT) toolkit, was utilized for training an MT engine on the 36th Canadian …
